You cant change the rules after the comp has already started, thats just crap.

Same species only 3 times a year!!!!!!! Hell whatta ma I gunno do after March when I have 3 redfin in? Looks lime it is either carp or travel for 6 months.

Dave I reckon the rule change sucks to. Mate when your as good as us everyone is out to get ya . As a form of protest I will only submit one species the whole year. They can stick the new rule where the sun dont shine. I'm not going to target other fish just for the sake of the comp.
